The conference will be held in Des Moines, Iowa from July 18-22, 2018. Please note this first round of FY2018 grants is only for CLG applications for FORUM travel.

Every year, the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) awards grant funds from the state’s annual Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) award. Grants can support public education, surveys, planning, archaeological investigations, and building rehabilitation. Applicants must be either a governmental agency or a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Private property owners are not eligible. Resources must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places to be eligible for grant-assisted rehabilitation projects. Due to limited funds, the grant award process and the subsequent application review is very competitive.
